Hi all, (on latest groovy 3.0.5 and OpenJDK 14) omitting the empty parentheses to the .size() call works, but throws an illegal reflective access warning:
``` groovy:000> [1,2,3].size WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.ReflectionUtils (file:/home/paul/.sdkman/candidates/groovy/3.0.5/lib/groovy-3.0.5.jar) to field java.util.ArrayList.size WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.ReflectionUtils WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release ===> 3 ``` Curiously, the size() method seems to be the only parameter-less method where I can omit the empty parentheses – all others throw a MissingPropertyException (as expected). What is the desired behaviour, and why is it even working (albeit with warnings) with .size ? best paul -- typed with Neo 2 -- an ergonomically optimized keyboard layout for German, English, programming, and science ❤ http://neo-layout.org ❤ https://useplaintext.email ❤ YY-MM-DD dates (ISO 8601/RFC 3339) � UTF-8 encoding
